Figure 5. The DT9840 Series is an intelligent data acquisition system optimized for the highest performance, real-time data acquisition anddigital signal processing applications. A unique architecture tightly couples A/D and D/A converters to a DSP engine to allowsimultaneous data collection and analysis, and host communications.

Page 4: Data Acquisition -  · PDF file— Use a JTAG emulator or RS-232 serial ... Acoustics/Sonar, ... The DT9840 Series is a complete data acquisition system for real-time signal

OverviewThe DT9840 Series is a complete dataacquisition system for real-time signalcapture and processing. With a varietyof I/O and programming options, theDT9840 Series provides an ideal plat-form for real-time applications.

Included in the series are theDT9841, DT9842/2, and DT9842/8modules. Each module contains anembedded DSP processor for real-timecontrol and a high-speed USB 2.0 inter-face for communicating to a host PC.The DT9841 module features 24-bitDelta-Sigma converters - great for noiseand vibration testing. The DT9842/2and DT9842/8 modules feature 16-bitsuccessive-approximation converters -great for fast control loop operations.

All modules provide simultaneousacquisition and control of up to 8 ana-log input channels, 2 analog outputchannels (8 on the DT9842/8), 24 digi-tal I/O lines, and 3 32-bitcounter/timer channels at up to 100kHz. And, if you need more I/O, simplyconnect up to eight DT9840 Seriesmodules together! A variety of memoryand packaging configurations are avail-able to suit your application needs.

To get up and running quickly, usethe DT Dynamic Signal Analyzer appli-cation, included with DT MeasureFoundry/RT-Streaming, to stream real-time data between the PC and yourDT9840 Series module right out of thebox - without programming! You canmodify this application as you wish orconfigure a complete real-time systemusing the property pages of DT MeasureFoundry/RT-Streaming. Or, if you needmore flexibility, develop your own low-level DSP application using TI CodeComposer Studio. Select the softwaresolution that's right for you!

Simultaneous Analog InputsThe DT9841 module offers 8, 24-bitanalog input channels with built-inanti-aliasing filters for superior AC per-formance in noise and vibration testingapplications. All analog input channelsare configured for differential mode andsupport an input range of +/-10 V.

The DT9842/2 and DT9842/8 mod-ules offer 8, 16-bit analog input chan-nels (without filtering) for fast control-loop applications, such as predictivemaintenance and servo loop applica-tions. All analog input channels areconfigured for single-ended mode and,like the DT9841, support an inputrange of +/-10 V.

When clocked by either the internalor external clock, all analog input chan-nels, digital input lines, andcounter/timer channels are simultane-ously sampled at up to 100 kSamples/s(800 kHz aggregate). Using software,you can scan all the analog inputseither a specified number of times orcontinuously. You can also read a sin-gle value from a single input channel, ifdesired.

Internally, the DT9841 module uses aDelta-Sigma converter for each analoginput, while the DT9842/2 andDT9842/8 modules use a successive-approximation converter for each ana-log input.

Delta-Sigma converters offer the fol-lowing advantages for analog inputoperations, making them ideal for noiseand vibration testing applications:

Reduce noise and improve accuracy byoversampling each input up to 64times.Eliminate errors that result from alias-ing and high frequency noise by usinga built-in decimation filter when sam-pling between 200 Hz and 5 kHz.

Provide excellent low-level signal-to-noise performance, which improvesdynamic accuracy on low-level sig-nals.Provide excellent differential linearity,which ensures consistently accuratedata conversion across the full inputrange.Because of their inherent filtering

algorithms, though, Delta-Sigma con-verters also have an initial delay of 37clock pulses (370 µs at 100 kHz) afterthe sample clock is first started andbefore the first conversion is completed.Thereafter, the data is converted with-out delay (at 100 kHz, sampling occursevery 10 µs).

In fast control-loop applications, thisinitial delay is unacceptable. For theseapplications, successive-approximationconverters are the best choice.Successive-approximation convertersalways run as fast as possible becauseno filtering is performed (at 100 kHz,sampling occurs every 10 µs). In addi-tion, they have extremely low apertureuncertainty (5 ns jitter) for minimalphase error and very accurate compari-son/correlation of high-speed analogsignals.

Waveform Quality Analog OutputsThe DT9841 module supports two, 24-bit waveform analog outputs with anoutput range of ±10 V or ±2.5 V. A soft-ware-selectable filter of 5 kHz or 20 kHzis available for each channel forsmoothing the output value.

The DT9842/2 module supports two,16-bit waveform analog outputs andthe DT9842/8 module supports eight,16-bit waveform analog outputs. Eachanalog output channel provides an out-put range of ±10 V. Each analog outputis deglitched to a small 10 nV secondspike for all the major and minor bitcarries.

When clocked by either the internalor external clock, all the analog outputsand digital outputs are simultaneouslyupdated at up to 100 kSamples/s (200kHz or 800 kHz aggregate). Using soft-ware, you can update all the analogoutputs either a specified number oftimes or continuously. You can alsogenerate a waveform for each analogoutput channel or write a single valueto a single output channel, if you wish.

Internally, the DT9841 module usesindependent Delta-Sigma converters foreach analog output channel. At fre-quencies between 200 Hz and 5 kHz,the Delta-Sigma converters automati-cally interpolate between data points toeliminate any aliasing effects on theoutput signals. This interpolationresults in a glitch-free transition.

The DT9842/2 and DT9842/8 mod-ules, in contrast, use successive-approximation converters for unfilteredoutputs with fast response times.

High-Speed Digital I/O LinesAll DT9840 Series modules featurethree 8-bit ports (24 lines) that you canprogram for digital input or digital out-put operations using software.Interrupt-on-change is also supportedfor the first port. This feature is usefulwhen you want to monitor critical sig-nals or when you want to signal thehost computer to transfer data to orfrom the module. You can also enabledeglitching circuitry on this port to pre-vent situations where multiple inter-rupts can occur for one state change.

When clocked by either the internalor external clock, all the digital inputlines, analog input channels, andcounter/timer channels are simultane-ously sampled at up to 100kSamples/s. At the same time, all thedigital output lines and analog outputchannels are updated at the same clockrate. Using software, you can read allthe digital input lines or update all thedigital output lines either a specifiednumber of times or continuously. Youcan also read a single value from a sin-gle digital input line or update a singledigital output line, if you wish.

On power up or reset, no digital datais output from the modules. All the out-puts include diode protection to the iso-lated ground and the isolated +5 V.

Up/Down Counter/TimersAll DT9840 Series modules providethree 32-bit counter/timer channelswith programmable C/T clocks, gates,edges, and pulse output parameters.

You can use these counter/timers toperform standard counting operations,such as event counting and rate gener-ation, as well as up/down counting,one-shot, and repetitive one-shot opera-tions. Additionally, you can measurethe period or frequency of a signalbetween programmable clock or gateedges.

You can also read the value of all thecounter/timer channels at the sametime as the analog input channels anddigital input lines at up to 100 kHz.

Easy Channel ExpansionFor high-channel count applications,use the Scalable Bus connectors on themodule and the shielded EP342 cableto connect up to eight modules togetherfor up to 64 analog I/O channels, 192digital I/O lines, and 24 counter/timer

channels. If you wish, you can synchronize the

operation of all modules using theScalable Bus master clock. In this con-figuration, one module is the masterand the other modules are slaves. Youcan use either an internal or external

clock source to pace the master mod-ule. The Scalable Bus master clockresets the slave modules and pacesthem at the same rate as the mastermodule. The first and last modules inthe chain must be terminated with soft-ware-selectable 100 terminationresistors.Programmable TriggersThe DT9840 Series supports an inter-nal and external trigger for starting allthe I/O operations on the module.

Using the internal trigger, I/O opera-tions start based on a software com-mand. Using an external trigger, I/Ooperations start when the moduledetects a low-to-high transition on theExt Trig input of the module. Connect aTTL-level signal to the Ext Trig BNC onthe module.

Programmable ClocksAll DT9840 Series modules support aninternal and external clock for pacingI/O operations. These clocks are sharedby all I/O subsystems.

On the DT9841, the internal clockhas a 36 MHz time base and supportssampling frequencies between 200 Hzand 100 kHz. On the DT9842/2 andDT9842/8, the internal clock has an 18

MHz time base and supports samplingfrequencies between 0 Hz and 100 kHz.Use software to specify the samplingfrequency you want.

If you want to use an external clockto pace I/O operations, connect a TTL-level signal to the Ext Clk BNC on themodule. For the DT9841, ensure thatfrequency of the external clock signalthat you connect to the module has a50% duty cycle, is 256 times the actualclock frequency you want, and has aresulting clock frequency between 200Hz and 100 kHz. For example, if youneed a sampling frequency of 100 kHz,use an external clock source with a fre-quency of 25.6 MHz. For the DT9842/2and DT9842/8, the frequency of thesignal that you connect to the Ext Clkinput is the clock frequency that isused.

High-Speed USB 2.0 HostInterfaceAll DT9840 Series modules use a high-speed USB 2.0 interface, which pro-vides transfer rates between the moduleand the host at up to 480 Mbits/s. TheDT9840 Series can also be used withUSB 1.1 ports, but at USB 1.1 perform-ance (12 Mbits/s).

500 V Galvanic Isolation Computers are susceptible to ground-spikes through any external port. Thesespikes can cause system crashes andmay even cause permanent damage toyour computer. DT9840 Series modulesfeature 500 Volts of galvanic isolation toprotect your computer from ground-spikes and to ensure a reliable streamof data.

Multiple Memory ConfigurationsDT9840 Series modules are available intwo memory configurations:

SDRAM (-R) - provides 128 MBytes ofSDRAM memory.Flash and SDRAM (-F) - provides64 MBytes of SDRAM and 2 MBytesof Flash memory.With the RAM memory configuration,

you can download a DSP program fromthe PC directly to the SDRAM memoryon the module and run it. The programresides in memory as long as the modulestays powered on. The module does notneed host intervention (eliminating anyWindows latencies) and can run on itsown, monitoring and controlling data. Ifthe PC becomes disconnected acciden-tally, data is preserved, ensuring thesecurity of mission-critical applications.

Page 6: Data Acquisition -  · PDF file— Use a JTAG emulator or RS-232 serial ... Acoustics/Sonar, ... The DT9840 Series is a complete data acquisition system for real-time signal

With the Flash memory configuration,you can download a DSP program to theSDRAM on the module, run and debugit, then store it in Flash memory. Once itis stored in Flash, the DSP programautomatically restarts on it own, inde-pendent of the PC, each time the moduleis powered on.

Memory is shared by the I/O subsys-tems, onboard DSP processor, andScalable Bus. Each subsystem has itsown high-speed pathway in and out ofmemory, and each pathway has its ownindependent DMA controller. This allowsI/O subsystems to operate withoutprocessor intervention.

Multiple PackagingConfigurationsDT9840 Series modules are available intwo packaging configurations:
